Superman Hits the Big Screen!

It’s a week full of super-action with Superman taking over screens across the country. Plus, an action-packed thriller that never lets up and two national premieres: a heartfelt story of friendship between a man and a penguin, and a documentary about three women and a VHS camera.

1. Superman

Written and directed by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), this is the first DC Studios feature to hit the big screen with a unique blend of epic action, humor, and heart, offering a Superman driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humanity.

Fun fact: David Corenswet (Twisters) steps into the role of Superman while Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) plays Lois Lane.

2. Lessons from a Penguin

A national film inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who lands a job as a teacher at a school in Argentina in 1976 but soon discovers a divided nation and a group of students impossible to teach. However, after rescuing a penguin, his life takes an unexpected turn.

Fun fact: The film stars two acclaimed English actors: Jonathan Pryce (Tomorrow Never Dies, Evita, Pirates of the Caribbean) and Steve Coogan (winner of seven BAFTA Awards and seven British Comedy Awards).

3. Death Sentence

An action, love, and revenge film where Kyrah and Isaac lead a powerful special forces unit known as Shadow Force but must suddenly disappear to protect their child. The shadow of their past haunts them: the organization offers a huge bounty on their heads, and the fight for survival becomes a relentless war.

Fun fact: The film stars Omar Sy (Lupin, The Intouchables) and Kerry Washington (Scandal, Django Unchained).

4. Masters of the Camera

A documentary exploring the resilience and transformation of three women who find in a camera a tool for expression and connection. In the 1980s, they record themselves with VHS devices, and decades later, during the pandemic, one of them discovers TikTok and becomes a grandma influencer. More than simple recordings, their videos are a way to inhabit other worlds, reinvent themselves, and share their creativity.

Fun fact: Director Tomás Lipgot came across the women's VHS by accident when it was mistakenly returned to him after sending a camera for repair.
